Suspicious Stew in villager trading

Suspicious Stew is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.

Suspicious Stew is a prepared food item. Trading for it is often quicker than assembling the ingredients, especially for a steady supply. A crafting grid makes one from 1 × bowl, 1 × brown mushroom, 1 × red mushroom and 1 × allium.

Your odds of finding Suspicious Stew

Every villager listed below shows this trade: their tier draws its whole pool, so there is nothing to roll for. What is left to plan is throughput.

Chance and daily throughput per villager for Suspicious Stew
Villager	Tier	Villagers with this offer	Rolls to see it	Most from one villager	After a cure
Farmer	Expert	100% (2 in 2)same in Bedrock	none, it is always there	24 suspicious stew a day2 restocks a day	no change

The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

How Suspicious Stew trading works

Every suspicious stew offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.

The earliest suspicious stew shows up is the Farmer's Expert tier, level 4 of five, which a villager reaches at 150 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 3 tiers short of offering suspicious stew at all.

How long Suspicious Stew takes in real time

12 suspicious stew empty one slot at the Farmer, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.

So one farmer moves 24 suspicious stew against 24 emeralds a Minecraft day, suspicious stew every 50 real seconds, 1.2 emeralds a real minute. 27 suspicious stew take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the farmer walk back to its composter.
